I'm thinking of recording a western ballad; Thought I should see what people think of the lyrics first.
Yeah it gets cheesy at the end but hey.
Edit: Here's the finished version (27 May 2014): The Ballad of Ryan Davis (Soundcloud)
The Ballad of Ryan Davis
The man named Ryan Davis
He was half man, half damn SimGolf machine
But still he's more a man
Than any other man was or could ever have been
--
Papa Bear in yesteryear
He trotted through time with ease
The rowb'ts knew his Poké-weakness
Koffing made him giddy at the knees
--
He rode a horse-meet-rider
Into town when Ghost Fish Was around
The two met eye to eye despite
The fact that ghost fish lay upon the ground
(Break)
--
The Ghost fish sniggered loudly
It said "You can't beat me you know"
It held an ancient copy
Of "You can't Stop Mr Domino"
--
Ryan wouldn't let this stand
That game was better than the best
He decided that until the game was
Safe Ghost Fish would never rest
--
He shouted Hey everyone it's Tuesday
And it's time to get that fish right outta town
So he made a Giant Bomb
And rider-meet-horse, he climbed on down
(Break)
--
The Taswell and the fish they stared
And on this went for days and days
Til o'er the hill came Ryan's posse
Whiskey came and everybody was amaze- d
--
He said Batm'n Batm'n Batm'n
And Whiskey backed their man in the fight
They fought alongside Davis
All day, but were victorious in the night
--
As if a single victory
Was not enough to satiate his hungry thirst
Ryan set out to right the wrongs, but make
The wrongers laugh their god damn pants off first
(Break)
--
He was the victor against China,
He had Daytona USA
He shat all over Game Room,
And he conquered Dragon Ball Zay…
--
He won the Brono Trigger
He was better than FTL
He beat Mark of the Ninja
And had a gentleman's agreement with Saints Row the Third.
--
But the final win for Davis
Was the greatest triumph off the charts
Unparalleled in everything
He won all of our souls and all our hearts
(Break)
--
Ryan was a great man
Leaking happiness right up until the end
And though many never met him
We considered him… a friend
--
So Thank you Ryan Davis
You have filled our days and nights with endless glee
I hope you're up there in the Game Room
In the Sky enjoying Half Life 3
